High school prom dances and formal nights let you feel childhood again... like the time when you wanted to dress up as a princess for Halloween but got a pumpkin instead, or when you wanted to be a prince and you ended up as a ghost. You're wearing something too pretty, something that you'll probably never wear again in your life. And that's the magic of the night. There are dances, socializing, and dates... the very conventions for a royal ball. For one night, everything seems beautiful. The only thing missing is a "happily ever after".
But for reality's sake, don't get into anything that might mess up your chances at graduation. Keep your clothes on and go straight home after the party's over.
